Time of Reading 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [301] at her home, ..., N.Y. You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading for this body, and answer the questions which I will ask you regarding all phases of the body's life.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [301]. Yes, we have had the physical conditions with this body. In many respects conditions are bettered. There should be, however, physically, those applications locally in the pelvic organs for the position of the uterus and for the organs of genitation themselves. These, as we find - if the medicated packs were used, with the proper manipulative measures as to strengthen the muscular forces as hold same in position - will bring about that proper relief for the body as respecting the menstrual periods. When these are severe, the use of hot packs - especially of heated heavy sea salt - would be the greater relief for the body.
3. Also, physically, there should be local attention to the teeth - on the right side, particularly the first lower molars; on the left side, the upper eye teeth and the first molars. These, as we find, may be treated locally; not necessarily the removal of same, if taken in time and there is sufficient of the added forces of calcium in the system for the creation of that characterization in the blood supply as to replenish or rebuild forces in same.
4. In these, physically, we find those conditions as need attention.
5. In the mental abilities and forces of the body - these, as we find, are capable, and there may be much added to an understanding of self and of the physical relations, as well as social, and relations with individuals - in marital and in everyday life - if those tenets of the individualities of each will be studied as in relationship to an ideal.
6. In the study of ideal and idealism, as it may be termed, well that the ideal be outside one's self - rather than for the motives of same be as added, in any manner, to the pleasure, satisfaction, gratification, contentment, ease, or
301-3 Page 2
such. Rather in humbleness, drawing a comparison of self's own activities as related to the ideal as is set or held, then individualities and the application of the things of life may be gained or attained. These, then, will be as of results in an activity of an individual, or the individual, rather than the seeking for sources of ease, pleasure, gratification, self-indulgence, or such - but when these have conceived they will bring forth that love as is all inclusive; for each individual should know that all forces as are manifest in material worlds are of ONE source; all power, all time, all space, is of ONE source. THAT source should be the ideal consciousness of each and every individual. In this entity same may be approached in any activity physically or mentally that the entity would make as a portion of its experience, whether in building for the home for the loved one, in the manner of approach, entertainment, satisfaction, gratification of others rather than self's own interests - which brings for self an understanding that will surpass all medication, meditation, understanding; for in the applications of one's forces or one's talents - does one gain that insight, that consciousness of well-being, of being in accord with those forces as build for that as is a continuity of destructions and of continuity of CONSTRUCTIVE influences; for - to surpass, one builds CONSTRUCTIVELY. To bring sorrow, tears, sadness, discontent, disillusionment, is to use a force, an activity in life, without the replacement of that as makes for same.
7. Then, with the application of the physical forces as for the physical body, these will bring that desire of the heart - and conception may take place; for these in ITS creative forces - are the GIFTS from creation as constructive measures are builded, and ever has it been "Blessed is she whom the Lord smiles upon in a life of usefulness in propagation of species, that comes with an understanding." [Luke 1:28?] In this the spiritual life opens; in this manner do the material affairs become eased - even as He gave, "My yoke is easy for he who contemplates and understands", for simply by taking thought (as some would, in meditation) one may not add one cubit to the stature, neither may one's hair be turned white or black, but in the APPLICATION of the thought - that consciousness held OF that divine force as makes FOR continuity of constructive life - THIS brings the activity in THAT manner in which the individual becomes the channel through which the Lord's forces - gods of the universe - the Master Himself - may MANIFEST that living water, that way, that life. For he

being the vine and we as the branches, should we lord [laud?] self - when our strength of body, mind AND soul rests in Him? for He is the light of the body. If one has lost that light, or so shaded self's own influences as to make - either in the physical body or the mental body - that which is shaded from that light, one LOSES its abilities to function in the proper way and manner - whether a spiritual force, a mental force, or a physical; for all is in Him. In HIM we live and move and have our being.
8. Keep the light before thee, knowing that, "Not MY will, but THINE, be done!"
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What physical exercises would be beneficial for body? (A) Any that is of a nature as would strengthen the organisms. These would BEST be made in accord with the MANIPULATIONS [osteopathically] as would be given for the STRENGTHENING of the organs of the system, just as it will be found necessary to use a support in the PLACEMENT, as it were, OF the organs of pelvis. This may BEST be done in accordance WITH those applications MADE by mechanical means, as would the exercises be in keeping with that being attempted to be done in and for the body.
